I read through the rules for free sprites recently and started wondering...
What about a technomancer cult deliberately producing free sprites? It wouldn't be that hard- you just take a TM with Resonance 6 (with a couple other TMs standing by to prevent him from harm if things go bad), let him summon a Rating 6 sprite, let him begin registering and shortly before he's finished, you carefully drug him close to the point of unconsciousnes. When registering is done, fading kicks in and your TM passes out, the sprite becomes uncontrolled and probably goes free. You may have to repeat this a couple times, as the sprite only rolls 2 dice against a treshold of 1 and most likely, the sprite will start to act funny while uncontrolled, but according to the BBB, they are much less aggressive than uncontrolled spirits, so (at least in theory) you just give it something that grabs its attention so it has something to play. After a while, chances aren't that bad that you end up with one or more free sprites- whom you have liberated. Probably they are interested in forming a resonance bond and you can start cheesing them up by feeding them registered sprites 24/7. We can all imagine the possibilities, i think. Of course, the problems one might encounter are obvious. You may end up with pariah or wedge sprites, who may have little interest in participating in your plan. A prototype sprite, which would be particularly susceptible to the whole cheese part, may become megalomaniac and demand constant feeding with increasingly powerful sprites and so on. But the basic idea is too interesting not to consider, i think. |
